What is Rifaximin and how to take it

What is Rifaximin?

It is an antibiotic containing Rifamycin with a broad spectrum of action mainly used to treat gastrointestinal diseases. It is available as Xifaxan tablets 200 mg and 550 mg in the market and belongs to the antibiotics and antidiarrheals class of drugs.

How does it work?

The exact mechanism of action is not known, but Rifaximin acts locally in the gut. It is a gastrointestinal-specific antibiotic. It inhibits bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to the beta subunit of the bacterial DNA, thus relieving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and leading to improved gut health.

How to take Rifaximin?

Take Rifaximin with a glass full of water and do not chew or crush the tablet. You can take it with or without food, but exactly as prescribed by your health care provider.
